This week's successes: I actually did an at-home work out last week. I really need to start following a program, though. Iβm thinking Stronglifts 5x5 or I might try Caroline Girvanβs EPIC. I also went camping on the weekend, which was fun! I walked 25,000 steps on Saturday.
This week's challenges: I am back to working in the lab this week, so I need to make sure Iβm getting enough sleep and actually making time for workouts. I also need to do some meal prep so I actually have lunches to bring!4 -
Week 20. Lost boy returning to One-derland.
The last entry I posted was for week three. Something came up, then something else, before I knew it, 17 weeks had passed. While Iβve enjoyed my brief respite, it wasnβt kind to my waistline and I gained back weight Iβd lost, peaking back above 200 pounds. I want to get back under 200 and get in shape for the summer. After losing 50 pounds last year, Iβm sure I can drop this last 35 pounds using the same healthy approach.
Starting weight 1/1/2021: 192 lbs
Goal weight: 165 lbs
Current Weight: 200 lbs
Change: +8 lbs
Challenge weight lost: +8 lbs
This Weekβs Successes:
None. Just starting back into it.
This Weekβs Challenges:
Logging food intake and tracking my workouts. Resuming workouts. Dietary restriction (no grains, dairy, or processed sugar).
I was quite disciplined in tracking my diet and reporting my status last year, so it should be easy to get back into the routine. Looking forward to that first 10 pounds falling off easily before it starts getting more difficult. I found my success came from being honest, accountable, and focused on my goal. This approach let me shed the weight last year and Iβm certain it will work again. Glad there was a group to come back to and it looks like Iβve got some catching up to do as youβve all done well. See you next week!

I think I missed a couple of check-ins this month, it's been a little crazy. I'm still on track for 52 lbs in 52 weeks, so I feel pretty good about that. I also successfully maintained while out of town for a week, so that's good. It looks like my actual TDEE is in the 2700ish cal/day range, so I can comfortably lose eating about 2300 cal/day, for now. I guess I really do have more muscle under all this than I thought.1 -
I'd love to join this challenge!
Starting weight: 215 (1/1/21)
Goal weight: 140-145
Current weight: 185.8
Total weight lost: 29.2
This week's successes:
Oddly enough, my success this week was allowing myself to take a day off from walking. I usually walk 3+ miles a day and haven't missed a day in almost 2 months. But I wasn't feeling well yesterday and so I allowed myself a self-care day. Normally I would feel guilty about taking a day off as if it were a failure, but this year I'm realizing that self care & acceptance is just as important as exercise is.
This week's challenge:
Trying to stay at or under my calorie goal with it being that TOM and eating out twice in one week
